It's ok if the privacy law only gone against stuff like analytics or horrible facebook buttons that even collected stuffs from people who clearly weren't users. i.e. tracking
especially tracking outside their "domain"
however GDPR goes against all and anything. I mean if I go to a supermarkt I can't just tell the supermarkt owner to shut down all his cameras until I leave the store, he would basically just kick me off his market (which actually is his right in the EU). However the EU somehow made a solution that actually even goes against their own market principles just to have extreme amount of Privacy in the internet (only in the internet, their own institutions can still collect data, i.e. in germany the ard has tons of data about everybody)
and this is my problem with the GDPR, it's a law from people who actually just want to hurt the big us internet companies. The law also was made by a lot of people without any clear technical background (there were some, but they were a minority)
- bigbugbag 8y agoI never registered on facebook because I knew. People who don't know or don't care is different, then there are other psychology explanation and network effect. Your example is deeply misrepresenting the GDPR, seems like FUD to me. GDPR applies outside the internet, GDPR is very limited in scope as it kept the "legitimate interests" exemption from the 1995 directive. Can you substantiate your claim that GDPR was made by people who do not understand what they do ?
- germanier 8y ago> in germany the ard has tons of data about everybody Your name, address, move-in date, and whether you paid them. Additionally – if you don't to pay twice – who you live with. Am I missing anything? In any case, they are still bound by the same GDPR as we all are. (A small nitpick: The ARD does not hold any data but their members do.)
- DanBC 8y agoGDPR isn't limited to the Internet. It includes most automated processing. https://gdpr-info.eu/art-2-gdpr/ https://gdpr-info.eu/art-2-gdpr/ > This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data wholly or partly by automated means and to the processing other than by automated means of personal data which form part of a filing system or are intended to form part of a filing system.
